• Abstract summary: We address the challenge of continual zero-shot learning where unseen information is not provided during training, by leveraging generative modeling. We propose our learning algorithm that employs a novel semantically guided Generative Random Walk (GRW) loss. Our algorithm achieves state-of-the-art performance on AWA1, AWA2, CUB, and SUN datasets, surpassing existing CZSL methods by 3-7%.

• Abstract: Learning novel concepts, remembering previous knowledge, and adapting it to future tasks occur simultaneously throughout a human's lifetime. To model such comprehensive abilities, continual zero-shot learning (CZSL) has recently been introduced. However, most existing methods overused unseen semantic information that may not be continually accessible in realistic settings. In this paper, we address the challenge of continual zero-shot learning where unseen information is not provided during training, by leveraging generative modeling. The heart of the generative-based methods is to learn quality representations from seen classes to improve the generative understanding of the unseen visual space. Motivated by this, we introduce generalization-bound tools and provide the first theoretical explanation for the benefits of generative modeling to CZSL tasks. Guided by the theoretical analysis, we then propose our learning algorithm that employs a novel semantically guided Generative Random Walk (GRW) loss. The GRW loss augments the training by continually encouraging the model to generate realistic and characterized samples to represent the unseen space. Our algorithm achieves state-of-the-art performance on AWA1, AWA2, CUB, and SUN datasets, surpassing existing CZSL methods by 3-7\%.

  Continual learning allows models to learn from new data while retaining previously learned knowledge. The semantic knowledge available in the label information of the images, offers important semantic information that can be related with previously acquired knowledge of semantic classes. We propose integrating semantic guidance within and across tasks by capturing semantic similarity using text embeddings.

  Continual learning requires a model to adapt to ongoing changes in the data distribution. We show that the combination of a large language model and an image generation model can similarly provide useful premonitions. We find that the backbone of our pre-trained networks can learn representations useful for the downstream continual learning problem.

A generative model of the representation space in concert with a careful adjustment of the losses allows us to exploit insights from future classes to constraint the spatial arrangement of the past and current classes.
